1st time camping. I found a nice spot on the grounds. Really enjoyed the peace and quite this place provided.
Incredible experience!! The drive itself is breathtaking and an adventure all on its own! Do yourself a favor and visit Tahoe National Forest and stay here! We stayed at site #3 and loved it!
